Father's Day (Bruce's Post)

Myfirst father's day was an absolutely perfect day. It started with homemade blueberry muffins from Di. Evan then gave me a picture of "the boys" (Danny, Sean, and him) and a picture of him with the "#1 Dad". My folks were on their way to Africa, but sent big block Legos to Di in advance. They also sent a card reminding me how important my imagination was to them and would be to Evan. I can't wait until he's ready to start building with me, but in the meantime I'm sure Danny and I will have lots of fun.We then had a great lunch with all thefamily, eating so much that there justhappenedto be only room forwaffle bowlsundaes for dinner.

Enjoying the 1st Father's Day

My little man

A perfect ending to a perfect day

Evan has been such a gift. I've heard it countless times, and will now repeat it myself; a child really does change everything. Watching him grow and change in just these few weeks has widened my perspective and provided an even stronger connection to the future. I can't wait for all the experiences we'll share together as a family and feel an even greaterresponsibility tocreate a better world. Needless to say, I love being a Dad and look forward to many more Father's Days.

Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there, especially my own. Thanks for showing me the way.
